nope, millions of deadbeat federal employees are desperate, hungry, living on the streets after 3 days of no pay.

And this is a sane human being? Explain....
Based on his past history, he clearly believes that there is nothing wrong with expecting people to work without getting paid for doing so.

People said they wanted Trump's business acumen in the WH so here we are.

A judge declared yesterday that these people have to keep working despite not getting paid.
Slavery is alive and well in the U.S. of A.

Tell me, did you try to get hired but were turned down? There are openings at every level. Instead of labeling people who work as “deadbeats”, wouldn’t your time be better spent trying to better your situation?

Technically he ruled that he would not get involved. The result was the same but as I've said before, it only happens because we allow it. We should be breaking things. (figuratively at first)

Last year we (WV) did a really good job in shutting things down and protesting for higher pay for teachers.

I've asked over and over where the money comes from to pay politicians. They get it from the same source. No one answers as we all understand. This is all politics, nothing more. This country puts their politics ahead of people.

actually my first job with the federal government began in 1969. Finished up 12 years ago. Left DC area, sold my house for 7 figures, I'm ok. I was a responsible adult, had an emergency fund for unanticipated expenses. Never had to cry and whine because my paycheck was 5 days past due. How's your situation Sharpie?
